Don't worry about them charging you... we'll just take away their credit cards before we hunt 'em.

Since the local rabbit population decimated the fresh peas in my garden my 6 year old daughter has given me her permission to get some "payback"...(she really likes fresh peas,my daughter that is   :) ..)We have open season all year for rabbits but I'll wait till it gets cold.

Don't forget about the squirrel season. Good way to scout for deer season. Just find the oaks and you will be in the squirrels.

I can't wait for bunny season to open here. I'm even half seriously considering driving all the way across the state with gas at $2.75+/gal to hunt white-tailed jackrabbits, which people tell me are very similar to a snowshoe hare.

Be careful when hunting the squirrels...The guy on the left has a bow I think.

Seems they are becoming high tech also

You can hunt rabbits (snowshoe hares) all year long in my part of Alaska, just have to be careful about tularemia - a disease that hares get from ticks in the summer months.  Grouse season just opened in mid-August.  I went out yesterday morning, launched two arrows at hares but bagged none, saw 4 or 5 spruce grouse but didn't get any shots.  It is fun though and I think "small game" becomes "big game" when bowhunting.

Squirrels and rabbits is where its at for me!  
Stump shooting takes its place the rest of the year.

I love hunting small game with a bow.  Waterfowl, too.  Just got this years supply of blunts and points.  I am going to try out the G5 Small Game heads as well as the Snaro Bird Points and rubber blunts.

Of course I will likely wind up using judo points or field points with adders like I have done for years, but I wanted to try something new this season.

Small game with a bow is just so challenging and fast paced and I find myself shooting better because of it.  Plus I enjoy being able to move when hunting.

Last year I took one pheasant with a bow.  Three geese.  About a dozen squirrels and 3 or 4 rabbits.  The pheasant and one goose I took on the wing.  The other two geese just swam a little too close to my dock.  ;)

If I can manage some time I plan to hit some squirrel with a bow in south east Iowa on my hunting grounds.  Sounds like a real good time flinging arrows at small game with a purpose other than stifling a noisey squirrel during a bow hunt.

I'd really like to nock a crow out of the sky...never met one I didn't want to put an arrow through...  Nobody in PA crow hunts anymore.

Where in PA are you?  I hunt them in the Delaware River NRA.  I'm from NJ but live on the other side of the river about 20 minutes and have my non-res license.
